As summer winds down and the new school year begins, it’s the perfect time to rev up your fruit intake and enjoy the last few weeks of in-season summer fruits!

Fruits are high in fiber and have important vitamins that strengthen your immune system and keep you healthy and satisfied. That’s why MyPlate recommends making half your plate fruits and vegetables.

But don’t just settle for your old go-to choices. Be adventurous with new tropical tastes or rework your family’s favorites into new recipes.

Everyone can use a fruit boost – get yours today! Check out one of these awesome fruit creations, or experiment with your kids in the kitchen!
